Sept 3, 2014 – The Heart has Wings

Limit not sacrifice to the giving up of earthly goods or the
denial of some desires & yearnings, but let every thought and
every work & every enjoyment be an offering to God within
thee. Let thy steps walk in thy Lord, let thy sleep and waking be
a sacrifice to Krishna.

Sri Aurobindo

(Thoughts and Aphorisms 362)

The Heart has Wings

There are people in whom the psychic movement, the emotional impulse is stronger than intellectual understanding. They feel an irresistible attraction for the Divine without knowing, without having the slightest idea of what it is, of what it can be, what it represents – nothing, no intellectual notion – but a kind of impulse, attraction, a need, an inevitable need.

And these people who have that, if, I may say as a result of the Grace, they have a mind which does not trouble them, does not question, does not discuss, go very fast…

There are others who understand first, who are very intellectual, have studied, can play with words and ideas, who will give you brilliant lectures on all the philosophies, all the religions, all human conceptions and who, perhaps, will take years to advance one step. Because all that goes on in the head.

It’s not the head which has wings: it’s the heart.
